Allowing ( :-P ) ubuntu-drivers to install nvidia-340 results in no GUI on reboot, only console available. X does appear to be running, but only a black screen.

[AMD/ATI] Raven Ridge [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] (rev c8) Error: ================ " root@XXXXX# ubuntu-drivers list ERROR:root:No "nvidia-dkms-340" can be found. nvidia-340 " 1) Expected action - running 'ubuntu-drivers' lists NO drivers being available, as allowing drivers to be installed that the installer seems(?) to know are broken/will break things, is illogical. 2) Improvements - I had access to terminal (Ctrl-Alt Fxxx). Why is there not an 'uninstall' option for ubuntu-drivers?
